"she who willows among thorns" is a temple of words to the feminine. it contains songs and stories of eruption, oppression, and transgression; its air is ripe with celebration and lamentation. these poems are mere shadows of the power and powerlessness of women explored in moments of being and becoming, of uncompromising passion and unspoken pain. "she who willows among thorns" holds space for the fantastical and the truthful; its walls inscribed as a love song to the spirit and strength of the women that saved me, and to she who named me.
